Activity Levels in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients
This observational study is looking at how activity levels relate to recovery for people receiving a bone marrow transplant. Participants, aged 18 to 99, will wear a device called an Actigraph (a wearable activity tracker) and have their hand grip strength measured. You will also complete quality of life questionnaires. The study aims to see if there's a connection between your activity levels and how long you stay in the hospital, your quality of life, and your hand grip strength. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to include 200 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 200 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You will wear an Actigraph around your waist for about 3 weeks before your transplant until you leave the hospital. You will also complete quality of life questionnaires and hand grip tests at three different times during your hospital stay.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your activity levels, quality of life, and hand grip strength will be measured from the start of the study for up to 5 years.

What this trial measures
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and length of stay in hospitalFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years
Participants will be given actigraphs to wear around their waists starting 3 weeks prior to bone marrow transplants until they are discharged from the hospital. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with length of stay.
- To determine the correlation between activity levels and quality of lifeFrom study intitiation for up to 5 years

They will be provided with quality of life questionnaires at three time points during hospitalization. Activity prior to and during hospitalization will be correlated with quality of life
